The Manufacture of Chocolate and other Cacao Preparations

Acorn-cacao can be prepared by mixing 10 parts of pure cacao mass, 20
parts defatted cacao powder, 5 parts roasted barley meal, 35 parts of
the meal from shelled and roasted acorns (or 10 parts of an aqueous
extract of roasted acorns), 30 parts powdered sugar, and 2 parts pure
calcium phosphate.
=Acorn-chocolate= is a mixture of 100 parts shelled and roasted acorns
with 500 parts sugar and 400 parts cacao mass in addition to spices.
=Acorn-malt-cacao (Dieterich)= is prepared by mixing 1 kilo of acorn
malt extract (Dieterich-Helfenberg) with 6 kilos of sugar (dust), and 3
kilos defatted cacao.
=Acorn-malt-chocolate (Dieterich)= is prepared by accurately mixing 2
kilos acorn malt extract (Dieterich-Helfenberg) with 3½ kilos of
powdered sugar and 4½ kilos of cacao mass.
=Albuminous chocolate and cacao.= Riquet & Co. of Leipsic have
protected a process by various patents[239] for “The production of a
tasty and genuine chocolate or cocoa powder[240] rich in albuminous
constituents.” The kernels of the thoroughly roasted bean are worked
up with a mixture (?) of water and dry albumen, allowed to stand for
some time, the water evaporating, and then the beans are worked up once
more. Instead of water an aqueous sugar solution may also be employed,
and further the addition of albumen may occur at any stage[241] and
in particular when sugar solution is first taken, then the albumen
and sugar necessary for the chocolate mixed up, and finally the cacao
material (with additions of cacao oil) added. Still better (than the
sugar solution) would it be, if the albumen were incorporated in
the chocolate or cocoa material in the form of a mixture with some
emulsion (!), especially a mixture with milk.
=Barley-chocolate= is prepared by mixing 1 kilo of prepared barley
meal[242] 4½ kilos powdered sugar and 4½ kilos cacao mass. The
moulded chocolate is to be coated with varnish.
=Cacao and chocolate preparations containing milk= are prepared
according to A. Denayer, Brussels (German patent No. 112220, 4 February
1899) by evaporating, in the open air, a mixture of milk and sugar to
the consistency of cream, and to the hot mass, defatted or not defatted
cacao is added in the form of powder. The resulting mixture is spread
out in thin layers and exposed to the influence of a temperature of
80-100°C. in a rarefied atmosphere, then finally completely dried at a
lower or ordinary temperature under the same conditions.
=Cacao-egg-cream= (so called African punch) is thus prepared: 10 yolks
of eggs are beaten up with 300 grammes of syrup (1 part sugar to 2
parts water) and, whilst being continually whisked up, 500 grammes of
cacao essence (see next paragraph) are added. The whole is to be iced
before being consumed.
